  May 11, 2014 - Just ok. Not very complex and not much fruit.

  7/30/14, 5:01 AM - I find the review helpful as this has been my impression on many of the very hyped 2008 from Oregon. So how is it a 90 point wine? That leaves only 10 points to perfect from ok. I understand the perspective- I think its Parker's influence as he has compressed the range for excellent wines and rates far too many wines 90 that should be 83. 83 or 85 are ok scores. 90 to me says buy this wine it's really good. Not trying to be offensive here. Would however like to restore the spectrum of scores

However, not saying it was a badly made wine. Just not my cup of tea - others may love this. Unfortunately, there are far more egregious violations of the scoring system than my review of this wine. That is the downside of relying on information in an application used by levels of oenophiles ranging from novice to master sommelier. Cheers!
